Solving the X-ray structure of a critical auxin signal transduction protein if successful would have massive impact in food production and food security.

Previous work suggests that some species of Tetracladium colonise roots and increase productivity. This would be an excellent and non-GMO way of enhancing crop yields and the Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund is pleased to support this work.

This Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund sponsored project hopes to characterise seroprevalence of RVF in African buffalo, characterise seroprevalence of RVF outside Kruger in cattle and finally estimate spill-over potential by determining which species mosquitoes are feeding on at both sides of the interface.

This Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund project in Warwick Life Sciences aims to discover the full capabilities of using the yeast vacuole as a protein storage facility by expressing seed storage proteins within them.
